...

In March, flowers fell all over, and the mountains, rivers, plants and trees became even more lush.

After a few heavy rains, the river gradually filled up, the river beaches were as water as the grass, and wild birds flew all over the sky again.

The river breeze blows under the strong sunshine, and it already has a faint smell of midsummer.

Many edible wild fruits have begun to appear in the mountains and fields, such as thorn bubbles, snakeberry, bauble fruit, wild mulberry fruit, big milk foam, chicken leg grass, goat milk fruit, and prickly pear...

Last year, Xu Chen missed the spring, and of course he was confused and didn't pay much attention. But this year he discovered that in this primitive and wild world, he knew a lot of wild fruits that he could eat. Of course, he didn't know more.

But this did not prevent him from following Gu Heju and having a group of children eating around the river beach and the foot of the mountain all day.

The wild fruits that mature in spring are mainly berries.

These wild fruits have one common feature, that is, they are more sour.

This is due to insufficient light in mature early light and insufficient sugar accumulation.

But this sourness not only refreshes the mind, but also greatly supplements vitamins that the body lacks.

Therefore, for both humans and animals, spring is a season for rapid growth and fattening.

However, as the temperature rises, there are more and more venomous snakes and venomous insects in the wild, and the range of activities of the tribe members is getting smaller and smaller.

In this wilderness, any step in the wild requires caution.

Xu Chen and a group of children no longer dared to leave the yard too far, so they could only wander around in front of the house and near the farmland on the river beach, but these places were enough for them to suffer.

The open spaces around the house that were previously burned after the burning was now covered with thorns and weeds again, and even more crazier and lush than others.

Some hemp tree seeds sown in the spring that can be used for spinning and weaving have grown to more than two feet tall, mixed in waist-deep weeds, and look pretty good.

In addition, a lot of melon seeds planted by digging holes near the wall have grown. They climbed along the wooden frames built to the roof and have begun to bear fruit. Although they are scattered, one is hanging from the east and the other is hanging from the west, it still looks very gratifying.

Under this purposeful planting, the harvest will inevitably be much greater than looking for harvest in the wild.

The farmland that Xu Chen and his tribe are most concerned about is growing more rapidly now. They are starting to grow taller day by day, densely packed with undulating winds. Although there are so many weeds inside that cannot be cleaned up, they also look like a bit of farmland in later generations, carrying the full hope of harvest for the tribe.

After two months of wind and rain, the several grass people who were inserted into the farmland looked very broken, with only half of their bodies exposed, and have gradually lost their deterrence. Recently, many herbivores have begun to frequently visit the farmland.

Therefore, Xu Chen and Gu Ju had to patrol with bows and arrows every day, but weeds were growing inside and outside the farmland, and insects and snakes emerged one after another. In order to improve safety measures, Xu Chen and the other patroled, they also led a group of monkeys and little wolves.

Animals are relatively vigilant and can feel many unknown dangers and threats.

Monkeys like this kind of outdoor patrol. Every time they see three people patrolling with bows and arrows, they are excited, screaming, screaming and jumping.

The two little wolves were fed for half a year, and now they are half a big wolf cubs over two feet long, weighing more than ten pounds. Although their ferociousness has not subsided, they have never acted injuring people. This made Xu Chen feel that the taming plan has gained a little. However, as he grew up, the wildness of the two little wolves became more and more obvious. He believed that as long as he let go, the two little wolves would definitely run away without a trace.

With the help of these animals, you will gain some rewards almost every day patrol. If it weren't for a colorful snake, a hedgehog turtle, or even a nest of eggs.

This egg is gray-green, bigger than a pigeon egg and smaller than an egg. Xu Chen didn't know whether it was a bird egg, a snake egg, or a turtle egg, or something, so he didn't dare to eat it, so he directly gave it to a group of monkeys to eat it.

As March begins, some mushrooms begin to grow at the foot of the mountain after the rain and in the thorny bushes around the farmland.

Some of these mushrooms look like chicken mushrooms and straw mushrooms, but some of them are completely unaware of them. After Xu Chen hesitated for a few times, he decided to pick some and try them.

Because there are now a group of free drug testers.

Of course, this kind of experiment is carried out in a very small amount.

A single mushroom is cooked with a little meat bone or fish, and then let the monkey eat it first.

If the monkeys are fine after eating, they can pick them in large quantities and eat them.

If a monkey has a condition after eating it, it means it is toxic and needs to stay away from it.

This experiment lasted several times and the effect was excellent.

Because several monkeys were poisoned and had diarrhea and even had convulsions all over their body and foaming at the mouth. Of course, they were also not poisoned and had hallucinations. They were tilted and drunken fists in the yard.

After several consecutive poisonings, a group of monkeys began to feel extremely afraid of mushrooms. Every time they saw Xu Chen bring a bowl of fragrant mushrooms in front of them, the monkeys would squeak around like fried nests. They would simply lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, even if they gave nuts and vine wine, they would not want to eat a bite.

So Xu Chen had to give up slowly and paused this method of drug testing.

However, after a few times, he still gained a lot and experimented with several edible and very delicious mushrooms.

The busy and leisurely time passed quickly, and it was time to participate in the Old Mother's Day in the blink of an eye.

Half a month later, Mo Ba took a large group of young and strong men and women to set out again to the Wu tribe.

Xu Chen still followed him, but this time Ye also followed him, and Gu Heju stayed at home to take care of the patrol farmland.

This time I went mainly for women, including Ye. Eleven of them went there. The younger ones and those who did not have pregnant babies basically followed them.

There are only four men led by Feng, only Xu Chen is the underage, and the rest are all staying at home to hunt and work to take care of the family.

This combination made Xu Chen a little scared.

If you encounter robbery from other tribes, the Ba tribe will almost be devastating.

But this is the best combination now. If more men are taken away, the tribe will experience a food crisis.

At present, the tribe has almost no surplus food. A group of young and strong women collect wild vegetables, so they can only rely on men to fish and hunt every day to maintain their lives. Therefore, men who stay in the tribe need more.

Therefore, although Mother's Day is not mainly traded, trading has always been an indispensable event for tribal gatherings. Therefore, this time the Ba people brought a lot of pottery and linen.

But I was a little confused about what to change.

The tribe is not short of clothes at the moment. The animal skins I changed last year, together with the accumulation of their own tribe, and the increasing linen, the clothes for the four seasons are enough.

Although exquisite bird feathers are also very expensive, they are of limited use after all, and they are just for decoration. In addition, the wind and a group of hunters have also hunted many wild birds in winter, and they have obtained many beautiful feathers, so there is no need to exchange them from foreigners.

As for other beast-toothed beast-horned amber and gold, looking at valuable things, Xu Chen felt that it would be useless to exchange them for them.

Therefore, he felt that the main goal of this replacement was to use useful metal ores, and copper ore, lead ore and tin ore, etc.

At present, relying on the low-temperature processing stage of burning firewood, choosing to smelter is the best solution. As for iron smelting, it is too troublesome to smelter. Even if he finds an iron ore, he cannot make iron. After all, conditions do not allow it.

Of course, it would be different if you find coal.

But according to the current terrain conditions of the staggered mountains and abundant flowing water, there should be no conditions for coal mines to generate nearby.

Because coal is the product of large-scale geological changes hundreds of millions of years ago, it was generally required to be in a low-lying seabed or basin state in ancient times. A large amount of carbon-containing organic matter was enriched and slowly formed by high temperature and high pressure. Therefore, coal mines are generally in plain areas. For example, this area is full of mountains, and they are formed after orogenic movement rises from the underground, without the foundation for coal formation.

However, this violent orogenic movement will produce various metal ores.

So it's not surprising that there are gold and copper mines nearby.

In addition to these useful ores, what Xu Chen is thinking about is salt.

However, judging from his exchanges with some tribes around him, this hope is very slim.

As he went to the Wu tribe, Xu Chen kept thinking about what he could exchange for this time.

In fact, after the last meeting of the Witch Lord, he had no hope for such exchanges.

As for seeing the world, this kind of gathering that is not enough to a small town’s population is actually no longer attractive to a time traveler like him who has seen the world.

So this time he went out with a traveling mentality.

See how Primitive people worship their ancestors and intermarry.

From autumn to spring, nearly five months have passed.

The grass and trees in the valley cover the sky and the sun. Except for a group of hunters who leave the valley every day, it is almost impossible to pass elsewhere. Along the grass, thorny and woods, there are the sounds of insects, snakes, birds and beasts running and climbing everywhere.

The banks of the river outside the valley are even more lush.

The river flows wildly, and the river meets the river and the river, and the birds gather in the mouth of the river, and the crowds of wild beasts are rushing for food on the wide river beach, while the newly born beasts are running back and forth among the beasts.

The sky is high and the earth is vast and everything is full of success, and it looks like a barbaric and primitive ecological appearance.

There is no road in the world, and when there are too many people walking, it becomes a road.

Unfortunately, although the journey from the Ba tribe to the Wu tribe is not far, there are very few people walking.
